Let's focus !


We live in the age of distraction. Internet is a necessary evil. It makes us efficient. 
Bad news is - it can make us efficient in doing wrong things. 
That's when we have to gauge the effectiveness of work we do.
Then we talk about prioritization. (Read more)

After prioritization, you know exactly what to do. Then comes the tricky part - to actually do that.
Most of the excuses we mention are all distractions. Even the second in the list to do, is a distraction, when it comes to the most important thing at hand.

Try the above mind map for a week. You'll see wonderful results. I tried. It worked just fine.

Super Post ! I feel Focus is a total mental thing. If you have a clear idea on what you want to achieve and the belief that you will focus no matter what distraction that comes to you; then you can survive the tide , focus well and complete your task/job successfully.

human consciousness tends to drag "the Focus" to "past" or "future".Sometimes its necessary for survival ,but most times dwelling in these two leads to unhappiness? Any ideas about keeping the "focus" in present "time" and "space" ?
